One problem that I had was that I had compiled the kernel with software
watchdog, but never made the device. Then, I installed the "bo" watchdog
package. It never did anything, as far as I know, because there was no
device. Then, when I upgraded to hamm, I believe the watchdog package
created the device for me. It suddenly started working. The first time I
got the load over 10, <BAMM> - reboot. It logged it in daemon.log.
This probably has nothing to do with anything, but I was fairly amused by
it.
Later,
Dale
